SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Application filed August 30, 1887. Serial No. 28,270.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WALDEMAR WERMoH, of Milwaukee, in the county of Milwaukee,and in the State of Wisconsin, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in 00111130 sition Food for Cattle, Horses, and Swine; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof.

My invention relates to the production of'a composition food for cattle, horses, and swine from the refuse swill of distillerics; and it consists in the addition of certain ingredients thereto in a particular manner, as hereinafter set forth and claimed.

To produce about a ton of the prepared food, take twelve hundred pounds of the refuse distillery-Swill and add thereto two hundred. pounds of hard-wood sawdust, (previously comminuted by the addition thereto of two and a half pounds of sulphuric acid,) forty pounds of ground linseed, sixty pounds of common salt, and five hundred pounds of ryefiour. Theseingredicntsare thoroughly mixed together, and the resulting mass is put into wooden molds (preferably each a foot long, eight inches wide, and three inches high) and pressed into loaves after the manner of press ing clay into bricks, but without the loss of,

Patent No.385,220, dated June 26,1888.

(No specimens.)

any appreciable quantity of the liquid material, and then these loaves are rolled in ryeo flour, put upon straw paper laid on a board, and put into an oven and baked. The paper does not burn and adheres'to the bottom of the loaves, and is trimmed off, so as to form the base of the said loaves.

For horses the loaves are simply cutiuto pieces; but for cattle and swine they are preferably mixed with'water, forming a porridgelike drink.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

A composition food for cattle, horses, and swine, consisting of a mixture of refuse distillery-Swill, sawdust, ground linseed, salt, and rye-flour, in practically the proportions hereinbefore named, baked into loaves, substau tially as set forth.

In'testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand, at Milwaukee, in the county of Milwaukee and State of Wisconsin, in the presence of two witnesses.
